Powerful weather speaks to us. Powerful weather that presents a rare and beautiful display transfixes us. This image is beautifully crafted with exquisite use of form, lines, and texture. The subtle desaturated blues are intended to be calming while still adding to the mood of the scene. The perception of depth is astounding when this piece is seen in a large format. The foreground, middleground, and background lead the viewer to the horizon and up into the clouds. 

This piece is a museum quality photograph, created and signed by the artist in his Santa Barbara studio.
